Smoothieboard v2 is making progress, both on the hardware and firmware fronts. We hope to be able to run a Kickstarter campaign for it a few months from now. Note that even when this happens, it will still take a long time before v2 is as mature and useful as v1 currently is, so v1 is still your best option for a long while. If you want to stay informed of when the campaign will start ( to get those yummy early bird rewards ), help us with the dev, or help us promote the campaign, please email us

The Smoothie project is always looking for help, whatever your skills are, there are things you can do to improve the project with the other volunteers, if you feel like you could give us some of your free time, please contact us.

For hackers

Modular, event-driven design, allowing to add functionality easily without modifying the core. See the ModuleExample

Designed to support non-Cartesian machines

LPC1769 leaves lots of room for additional functionality.

The mBed functions and additional libraries are available for easy and fast prototyping. But compiles off-line ( using GCC ), not dependent on the mBed online compiler

Strict process for acceptance of new code, to keep the project at high quality

Heavily commented code
